If you purchased your Mac with OS Catalina (10.15.x) already installed, you can skip the uninstall part above and follow the instructions below.

6 'high level' steps needed, follow down the page to make this a painless systematic process

1.	Is your CAC reader 'Mac friendly'?
2.	Can your Mac 'see' the reader?
3.	Verify which version of Mac OS you have
4.	Figure out which CAC (ID card) you have
5.	Install the DoD certificates
5a.	Additional DoD certificate installation instructions for Firefox users
6.	Decide which CAC enabler you want to use (except for 10.12-.15)

Step 1: Is your CAC reader Mac friendly?

Visit the USB Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly.

Visit the USB-C Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly.

'Some, not all' CAC readers may need to have a driver installed to make it work.

NOTE: Readers such as: SCR-331 & SCR-3500A may need a firmware update (NO OTHER Readers need firmware updates).

Information about these specific readers are in Step 2

Step 2: Can your Mac 'see' the reader?

Plug the CAC reader into an open USB port before proceeding, give it a few moments to install

Step 2a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of the desktop, select 'About This Mac'

Step 2b: Click 'System Report...' (button)

Step 2c: Verify the CAC reader shows in Hardware, USB, under USB Device Tree. Different readers will show differently, most readers have no problem in this step. See Step 2c1 for specific reader issues.

Step 2c1: Verify firmware version on your SCR-331 or GSR-202, 202V, 203 CAC, or SCR-3500a reader. If you have a reader other than these 5, Proceed directly to step 3

Step 2c1a-SCR-331 reader

If your reader does not look like this, go to the next step.

In the 'Hardware' drop down, click 'USB.' On the right side of the screen under 'USB Device Tree' the window will display all hardware plugged into the USB ports on your Mac. Look for “SCRx31 USB Smart Card Reader.” If the Smart Card reader is present, look at 'Version' in the lower right corner of this box: If you have a number below 5.25, you need to update your firmware to 5.25. If you are already at 5.25, your reader is installed on your system, and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.

Step 2c1b-SCR-3500A reader

If you have the SCR3500A P/N:905430-1 CAC reader,you may need to install this driver, as the one that installs automatically will not work on most Macs. Hold the control key [on your keyboard] when clicking the .pkg file [with your mouse], select [the word] Open

Step 3: Verify which version of MacOS do you have?

(You need to know this information for step 6)

Step 3a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of your desktop and select 'About This Mac'

Step 3b: Look below Mac OS X for: Example: Version 10.X.X.

Step 4: Figure out which CAC (ID Card) you have

(You need to know this information for step 6)

Look at the top back of your ID card for these card types. If you have any version other than the six shown below, you need to visit an ID card office and have it replaced. All CACs [other than these six] were supposed to be replaced prior to 1 October 2012.

Step 5: Install the DoD certificates (for Safari and Chrome Users)

Go to Keychain Access

Select login (under Keychains),and All Items (under Category).

https://militarycac.com/maccerts/RootCert2.cer,

https://militarycac.com/maccerts/RootCert3.cer,

2. Download the allcerts.zip file and install each of the certificates you are missing individually.

Errors:

Error 100001 Solution

You may notice some of the certificates will have a red circle with a white X . This means your computer does not trust those certificates

You need to manually trust the DoD Root CA 2, 3, 4, & 5 certificates

Double click each of the DoD Root CA certificates, select the triangle next to Trust, in the When using this certificate: select Always Trust, repeat until all 4 do not have the red circle with a white X.

Once you select Always Trust, your icon will have a light blue circle with a white + on it.

The 'bad certs' that have caused problems for Windows users may show up in the keychain access section on some Macs. These need to be deleted / moved to trash.

The DoD Root CA 2 & 3 you are removing has a light blue frame, leave the yellow frame version. The icons may or may not have a red circle with the white x

Note2: If the certificate is already in Firefox, a window will pop up stating: 'Alert This certificate is already installed as a certificate authority (CA).' Click OK

Note3: If the certificate is not already in Firefox, a window will pop up stating 'You have been asked to trust a new Certificate Authority (CA).'

Check all three boxes to allow the certificate to: identify websites, identify email users, and identify software developers

Step 6: Decide which CAC enabler you can / want to use

Only for Mac El Capitan (10.11.x or older)

After installing the CAC enabler, restart the computer and go to a CAC enabled website

NOTE: Mac OS Sierra (10.12.x), High Sierra (10.13.x), Mojave (10.14.x) or Catalina (10.15.x) computers no longer need a CAC Enabler.

Try to access the CAC enabled site you need to access now

Use iTunes Producer to submit new and updated books as well as set up pre-orders on Apple Books. Add your book details, pricing, and assets such as cover art and book files to the app. iTunes Producer checks to see if your book file meets delivery requirements and then sends the book to Apple.

All EPUB books must pass the most recent version of EPUBCheck. Check your EPUB by using one of the available EPUB validation tools.

You can also use iTunes Producer to update the book’s metadata, pricing, or assets after a book has been submitted.

System Requirements

A Mac with OS X 10.10 or later
At least 20GB of available hard disk space
A broadband internet connection with an upload speed of 1 Mbps or faster

Submit your book

Sign in to iTunes Producer with the credentials you use for iTunes Connect. If your Apple ID is protected with two-step verification or two-factor authentication, an app-specific password is required. Learn more about app-specific passwords.
Choose a book type from the Template Chooser window.
Click Choose to create a new book package.
iTunes Producer contains up to three panes: Details, Price, and Files. Add the metadata, pricing, and book file.
Click Submit to send your book out for review.

This will create a book package with a .itmsp file extension. When you open this file, you will see the metadata (metadata.xml), cover art file, and book file if supplied. It’s saved to your Playlist folder by default.

Helpful tips for submitting your books are listed below, but detailed step-by-step instructions are available in iTunes Producer Help.

Details

Not every metadata field is required, but you should supply all information that applies to your book. You can also add cover art and screenshots to this pane. Learn more about creating metadata for Apple Books.

Price

If you have a Free Books agreement, you won’t see the Price pane. After it’s been submitted and reviewed, your book is automatically made available worldwide. You can make changes to the book’s availability in iTunes Connect. Learn how to make changes to a free book’s availability in iTunes Connect.

If you have a Paid Books agreement, you need to complete the Price pane to submit your book or pre-order to Apple. Learn how to add and edit book pricing.

Field	Description	Required
DRM Free	DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, which refers to various access control mechanisms that prevent unauthorized distribution of digital content. Select the checkbox if you do not want to apply DRM to your book.

Currencies

iTunes Producer uses the information you provide to determine the closest available price tier in the currencies for the territories selected. Existing foreign exchange rates are used and, for any territory where Apple collects tax for the sale of books, any customer inclusive tax is applied.

You can edit the price in any country or region individually to ensure prices are consistent with how you’d like to price your book in that location.

Files

You can drag and drop your book and sample files to the Files pane.

If you're setting up a pre-order, assets are not required, but they are required before your book is released for sale. You should submit all assets as early as possible and at least ten business days prior to the release date.

Select “Available during pre-order” if your sample is ready and you want customers to be able to download it during the pre-order period.

Get help with common issues

Publishing multiple books at once

You can only submit one book at a time using iTunes Producer, but you can enter metadata for multiple books in the Book File Import Template, available in the File menu in iTunes Producer. Doing this, however, still requires you to add the cover art and book file, and deliver the book package to Apple one at a time via iTunes Producer. Learn more about using the Book File Import Template.

Alternatively, you can contact an Apple-approved aggregator to submit multiple books for you.

Open the Book File Import Template

Sign in to iTunes Producer.
From the File menu, choose Open Book File Import Template.
Open the “BookFileImportTemplate.txt” with an application such as Microsoft Excel so that it’s easier to enter the information.
In the file, rows 2 and 3 show examples of how metadata and pricing information should be entered. Be sure to delete these two example rows when you’re done entering your book’s metadata and pricing information.

Tips for completing the Book File Import Template

To avoid overwhelming your computer screen, we suggest adding no more than 50 books at a time.
The identifiers in columns B, C, and X cannot contain decimal places. For example, “9786005000214” not “9.786E+12”. You can edit the decimal places in Microsoft Excel by clicking Cells in the Format menu and then clicking Number.
For every author listed in column T, specify that author’s information in columns U to W. Separate each with a semicolon (;) and no space. See row 3 for an example.
For every territory in column AA, specify that territory's information in columns AB to AI. Separate each with a semicolon (;) and no space. See row 3 for an example.
Leave columns AJ to AZ blank if you do not want to specify audience information.
